Mhafuzul Islam is a Senior Researcher with 11 years of experience at the intersection of Physical AI, computer vision, robotics, and connected automated vehicles, currently working at imec USA after research and engineering roles at General Motors. He blends academic rigor from a PhD at Clemson with hands-on systems engineering—from embedded firmware and sensor self-calibration at Infineon to deploying ML-driven perception and model-predictive control for autonomous navigation. His work has demonstrably improved hazard avoidance and integrated time-to-collision into MPCs, reflecting a focus on safety-critical systems that bridge edge and cloud computation. Comfortable shifting between low-level firmware, real-time robotics, and deep learning, he brings a rare cross-domain fluency that accelerates turning research prototypes into deployable AV and robotics solutions.
